Lyrics
Another year has come and gone
I feel the need to write a new song
Boy, It's cold outside, the sky is gray
Come on sun, tomorrow's another day
Do you know how blessed you are?
There's always someone worse off by far
Take some time today and thank God above
He's given life today through His love
It's in the smiles I see when blessings abound
It's in the frowns I see when you're feeling down
It's in the laughter of an innocent child
It's in the old man's chuckle and knowing smile
It's in the birds and bees and gentle breeze
It's in the floweres, grass and trees
His love is everywhere, don't you see
His love was meant for you and me
Just look around, and you will see, His love.
"How can it be?" you say to me
People dying everyday is what I see
Walls of water and wars of blood
Taking lives, is that your God above?
And, How about the people in my life
A parent, child, a good friends wife
Who's struggling to find the way
The doctor phoned again with bad news today
Is that your God amidst all the pain?
I'm so confused, am I insane?
If He's so good, then why the hurt?
Sometimes living is such hard work
I look around , but I just don't see
Are you sure? It's hard to believe
I want to know Him, are you for sure?
I want to see Him, does He have the cure?
Please show me, please show me, His love.
We're all here to do the best we can
Only God alone knows the plan
Give up your worries and your fears
He'll watch over you and dry your tears
Bad things happen all the time
But sit back and look and you will find
Some better good will take the place
It turns out it's not a waste
It's in the kindness of a perfect stranger
Who somehow saves you when you're in danger
It's in the trust of a small child
They'll show they love you with a gentle smile
It's in the glorious beauty surrounding us
It's in technology, cars, trains , the bus
It's in the simple things that make life good
The gentle stream that winds through the woods
Just look around, and you will see...His love
